CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- An international brain tumor research study co-authored by Charlotte neurosurgeon, Anthony Asher, MD, FACS, of Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates was selected for publication in the July 26, 2016 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2536637 "Publication in JAMA is a true honor and really shines a spotlight on the important cancer research that is emanating from Charlotte," said Dr. Asher. View a video of Dr. Asher at http://cnsa.com/jama2016. As the co-principal investigator and senior author of the manuscript featured in the July issue of JAMA, Dr. Asher recently presented the study research findings at the 2016 American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) Annual Scientific Meeting, where he earned the Leksell Radiosurgery Award for his research. About The Study "This study provides definitive evidence that patients with one to three brain metastases should no longer receive routine whole brain radiation therapy, and should be treated with focused therapy alone to better preserve cognitive function and quality of life. The results from this clinical trial will spark a renewed emphasis on focused therapies, like radiosurgery, for these conditions." About Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates
